Kids will Kick Up their Heels for Dance Studio 84's Dance Camp
Dance Studio 84's popular Dance Camp for ages 5 to 10 runs July 8 to July 12 from 10am to 2pm - and there's still time to sign your child up. They'll have a blast while learning tap, jazz and hip hop dances; practicing a fun skit; and making cute crafts.
On Friday, the last day of camp, parents are invited to their show. Spoiler alert: You'll love it! No dance experience is needed to attend and... get this! Camp is only $150 and includes a Dance Camp shirt. Dance Studio 84 also has a Summer Workshop - some experience is recommended - for ages 11 and up that runs July 16 to July 18. Call Dance Studio 84 for more information and to register. 775-7655

Animal Lovers can't get Enough of Gilchrist Farm's Summer Camp
Yes - your child will learn traditional crafts like soap and candle making during their memorable time at the popular Gilchrist Farm Summer Camp, but what you'll hear about around the dinner table each night will have much more emphasis on your kid's newest four- and two-legged friends! At Gilchrist Farm, your child will discover how to shear a sheep; milk goats; care for cows and bunnies; gather eggs; play with piglets and much more. Plus, campers will also learn how to ride horses or advance their current skills; become adept with archery and ax throwing; and even develop lifelong skills in leadership. If your dream summer camp is the one where your child climbs into the car dirty, happy and full of exciting stories to share, this is the camp for you! Whether they attend for a week or all summer long, your child will benefit from the wholesome activities, healthy sunshine (With plenty of shade and misters!), fresh air, animal connections, new (human) friends and good-old-fashioned fun. They won't miss their phone, tablet or gaming system when they're playing in the mud, exploring the farm and having the adventure of a lifetime!
